Hearing Gou Shun's answer, there was an uproar in the auditorium, and the three white-haired people also looked shocked. Only the recorder next to him was busy writing something with a pen.

It is said that the presiding judge has tried cases for more than 20 years and has never seen anyone plead guilty so neatly. He knocked on the table with a gavel again to signal everyone to calm down and said: "The client Gou Shun, why do you want to kill him?"

Xia Rushi?"

"I don't know." Gou Shun said expressionlessly.

"Since it was you who committed the murder, how could you not know the motive? This presiding judge has the right to remind you that you will be given leniency if you confess and severe punishment if you resist." The presiding judge said seriously.

"Please sentence me to death and execute it immediately."

The presiding judge was even more surprised by this request. He was used to seeing people resist death in court and people confessed and begged for mercy in court, but he had never seen someone requesting the death penalty.

After the presiding judge communicated with the two judges for a while, he looked at Gou Shun and said, "The client Gou Shun, since you have admitted that you are the murderer in this case, do you have anything else to say?"

"No."

"Okay, now that the client has admitted the crime, does the defender have anything else to say?" the judge on the left asked.

I saw a man in a suit and tie, about thirty-five or six years old, slowly walked up to Gou Shun, bowed to the front, and said loudly with a confident smile on his face: "Of course."

This man Gou Shun knew, his name was Hua Yan. An Ran hired a lawyer for him. He had gone to the Security Bureau to find Gou Shun.

He told Gou Shun that he knew that Gou Shun was unjust and could return Gou Shun's innocence. He hoped that Gou Shun could answer some of his questions.

But Gou Shun didn't answer his question. When he left, he said that he would definitely find evidence. He had such a smile on his face at that time.

He walked up to Gou Shun, took out a hard drive and handed it to the operator. After the operator connected it to the computer, he handed the operating pen to Hua Yan.

Hua Yan took the operating pen and clicked on a folder, and then clicked on a photo.

The photo was the same one Qian Yan and the others had seen before, and her words were similar to Qian Yan's. After she finished speaking, the audience started talking again.

At this time, another man in a suit came forward. This man was about forty years old. The sign on his chest read his name, Qiao Yu.

Since Xia Rushi's parents did not have personal freedom, the court specially assigned her prosecutor Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu stepped forward, glanced at Hua Yan, and said with a smile: "As for the defender's analysis just now, the prosecutor has three questions. First, the defender made some speculations based on the photos, but there is no concrete evidence. Second, the defender

It just illustrates a person's habit of holding a knife. Doesn't it mean that if you hold the knife in an unaccustomed posture, you can't kill? Finally, assuming that the defender's holding habit of holding the knife is followed, it can only mean that the murderer committed the murder face to face. If the murderer was in

If you hold the victim with one hand behind your back and commit the crime with the other hand, wouldn't that be the same way of holding the knife with the thumb and index finger facing outward? So the defense should be less inferential and use evidence to speak for itself."

Hua: "Judging from the results given by the Security Bureau, there are only the victim's fingerprints on the murder weapon, and there are no fingerprints of my client. Does this count as evidence?"

Qiao: "Of course not. The defendant was most likely well prepared in advance and wore gloves or used other methods to remove the fingerprints on the murder weapon, because there were fingerprints on the victim's clothes that the defendant failed to remove."

After hearing this, Hua Yan clicked on a surveillance screen and said: "According to the forensic autopsy report, the victim was killed between 7 and 8 in the morning. This is the hotel's surveillance video. My client walked out at 4:15 in the morning.

hotel, and I have not returned to the hotel since then, as the hotel front desk staff can testify.”

After the hotel front desk testified in court, Qiao Yu was still unconvinced and said: "Maybe the defendant used some other hidden channels to avoid the front desk and surveillance. After returning to the hotel to commit the crime, he left through this channel."

Hua Yan clicked on another section of surveillance. It was a convenience store. When the time displayed on it was 6:45, Xia Rushi appeared on the screen and bought a pack of cigarettes and a fruit knife.

Hua: "It can be seen from the picture that the murder weapon was bought by the victim, which means that she had already planned to commit suicide at this time."

Qiao: "The victim just bought a fruit knife. She might just want to cut fruit."

Hua: “But there was no fruit found in the hotel.”

Joe: "Then she could also use it to do other things, such as cutting other things, such as manicuring her nails. At this time, the defendant came back, and when he got interested, he used the fruit knife to commit murder."

After hearing this, Hua Yan ignored him and clicked on the next section of surveillance. The surveillance time was 6:10. The surveillance was facing a bench, and there was a person sitting on the bench, none other than Gou Shun.

Hua Yan finished playing the surveillance video at 8 times the speed. In the picture, Gou Shun was sitting in a chair and did not move at all until the police came and took him away.

Hua Yan looked at Qiao Yu and said with a disdainful smile: "It can be seen from the surveillance that the victim was fine when he showed up at the convenience store at 6:45, but my client was already dead at 6:10."

He sat on a park bench and didn't move, so he has sufficient alibi and he can't be the murderer."

When Qiao Yu saw this, he didn't know how to defend himself. He said angrily: "Since you have evidence of alibi, why don't you just show it and go around in such a big circle??"

"Of course I don't want to take it out directly, because I want to watch Lawyer Qiao explain your grievances step by step, and then appreciate your angry look. Presiding judge, is this not allowed?"

The presiding judge thought for a moment and then said seriously: "Defender, although there is no clear rule saying this is not allowed, for the sake of the efficiency of the trial, you should still pay attention to it in the future."

At this time, Qiao Yu was obviously a little unhappy. He walked up to Gou Shun, looked into Gou Shun's eyes, and said sternly: "Defendant, since you didn't kill the victim, why did you admit it?"

Without waiting for Gou Shun to answer, Hua Yan stepped forward and said with a smile: "I want to remind the prosecutor, please don't intimidate my client. My client is simply willing to admit, isn't that okay? Presiding judge, there are already

Sufficient evidence proves that my client is not the murderer, so I think my client has the right to refuse to answer this question."

The presiding judge thought for a moment, looked at Gou Shun, and said, "Defendant, you can choose to answer this question, or you can refuse to answer."

Gou Shun listened and said nothing.

"Defendant, do you have anything else to say?" the judge asked.

"I am the murderer, give me the death penalty." Gou Shun said still with a look of despair.

The auditorium began to talk again, and the presiding judge and the judges also started discussing.

About half an hour later, the presiding judge knocked on the table again with his gavel.

After everyone calmed down, the presiding judge said loudly: "After trial, the defendant Gou Shun was found to have insufficient evidence of murder. This court now announces that the defendant Gou Shun was acquitted in court!"

Gou Shun stood motionless in the small wooden grid. The presiding judge and the judge left. The recorder left. Hua Yan left with a proud look on his face. Qiao Yu left with a slight anger. The people in the auditorium left. Gou Shun

Shun looked back and An Ran also left.

Gou Shun stood blankly. He didn't know where to go or what to do. His home was gone, his love was gone, and his job was gone. He couldn't die even if he wanted to.

Two doormen came and asked Gou Shun to leave quickly, but he didn't move, so he was held up and thrown out the door.

He got up from the ground and walked forward unsteadily.

"Gou Shun." A very familiar voice came from behind, with a hint of hesitation and a hint of sadness in the voice.

Gou Shun couldn't help but turn his head, and it turned out to be An Ran.

An Ran bit her lip, as if she mustered up a lot of courage. She took out a card from her pocket, handed it to Gou Shun, and said, "There are 500,000 in it. Take it and find another one."

Good girl, live a good life with her."

Gou Shun didn't answer or speak, and tears flowed down uncontrollably again.

"Gou Shun, don't cry. I don't want to see you cry. Please don't cry, okay? I beg you." An Ran said, tears welling up in her eyes.

They looked at each other in silence, with tears streaming down their faces. Time seemed to have frozen, and everything around them seemed to have stopped. There were only tears, which kept wetting the clothes.

An Ran calmed down first. She wiped away her tears, took her hand back, and said, "Actually, I knew you wouldn't want it, but this is the only thing I can do for you in the end."

"Xia Rushi and I have nothing." Gou Shun looked at An Ran and said.

"I know that no one in this world knows you better than me."

"Let's forget everything and start over, okay?" Gou Shun seemed to have convinced himself.

An Ran smiled helplessly and said faintly: "If you didn't see it, I might be able to lie to myself for the rest of my life, but you happened to see it."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Gou Shun raised his voice slightly.

However, An Ran shook his head and said: "No, Gou Shun, once something happens, you can never go back. Only if you don't love can two people continue to act together. I am not a good actor, and you are neither."

"No, what I love is Enron, it has nothing to do with those messy things."

"No, you liked the An Ran before. Unfortunately, she is dead. The An Ran now is not worthy of you." An Ran's expression was a little desperate.

Gou Shun didn't know what to say, tears blurred his eyes again.

An Ran sighed and said: "Gou Shun, don't cry. I have given you all the love in my life, and the rest belongs to reality. No matter how deep the love is, it can't compare to the ruthless reality."

The destruction of love, beautiful love may be so vulnerable in the face of reality."

Gou Shun was silent for a moment and said, "An Ran, I know you are not that kind of person."

"At this point, it doesn't matter who I am anymore. Since I can't be the most perfect woman in your heart, I would rather be the woman you hate the most in your life. You can blame me or hate me, as long as you can quickly get over this.

Duan came out of the shadows." It could be heard that An Ran was still very concerned about Gou Shun in his tone.

Gou Shun didn't say anything. He didn't know if he should try harder to keep An Ran. Will she come back? After he comes back, can he give her happiness?

Facts have proven that I can't give her happiness, so why do I want to keep her? Is it because of selfishness?

"You have to take care of yourself from now on." Gou Shun said this, his heart was as sharp as a knife.

"Thank you, you too. I've already taken the things away. You can go home." After An Ran finished speaking, she turned and walked away.

Gou Shun saw her raising her arms, as if she was wiping her eyes. Suddenly, he remembered the night at the graduation party, when An Ran chased him and stood on the wooden railing of the river, forcing him to tell the three things.

One word, I love you.
